Langston Hughes Apparently Dreams

The Dream Keeper

Bring me all of your dreams,
You dreamers
Bring me all of your
Heart melodies
That I may wrap them
In a blue cloud-cloth
Away from the too-rough fingers
Of the world.

-Langston Hughes

I like this poem. At first, the pace is a little fast, but it slows down at the line "that I may wrap them". The first four lines seem to be more rhythmic and upbeat, while the last four lines are slower and more relaxing; they have longer lines, and have words like "cloud-cloth", and "too-rough".
While most of the last half of the poem uses words that are (as one would assume) peaceful and slow, the phrase "too-rough" is the opposite. Hughes uses it in a way that says: "This is what the world can do, but if you leave your dreams with me, they'll be safe."
Although not the best, I can compare it to an advertisement on television. They say that they have the best prices, the bets deal, the best quality, the best results.
What sucks, though, is when another commercial comes on after it about people who have been known to die or have stroke or heart attack because of their product, and you too can call in now and get your money back.

No matter how reassuring this poem sounds, it's not, it's just reminding you about how "too-rough" the world can be. But to wrap your dreams in a blanket and hide them from the world is just taking the imagination form the world.
Dreams and the world belong together: Dreams lets you escape the reality for a while, but the world snaps you back into it. Without either one... who knows?
But some people like to wrap other people's dreams in a fluffy piece of fabric.

Bring me all of your dreams,
You dreamers
Bring me all of your
Heart melodies
That I may wrap them
In a blue cloud-cloth
Away from the too-rough fingers
Of the world.

Like Langston.
